You did not state if you were adding SCSI or IDE disks so I made the commands generic 1) fdisk (make the partition(s) 2) e2fsck format the partition(s) 3) mount (new home partition) on /mnt 4) cd /home; tar cf - . | (cd /mnt|tar xvf- ) 5) edit /etc/fstab for new partition(s) 6) umount /mnt 7) umount old /home 8) mount new /home 9) ls -l /home -- check to see all data is there Good Luck, Terry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAxm7bAAXwNnTBlswRAk1aAJ990x3pxiMKUU5dlzuuBDzVF41XZQCeI+Vv dm8Llq9nYQj7Xyi8cXPHzqI= =Xlgn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
